2019 Tour de France
-
That was great watching today - seeing all of those big guns dropping off and George powered up the climb! Certainly the most super of the super-domestiques today!
Be interesting to see whether Thomas and Ineos just had a bad day and can come storming back tonight, or whether he's properly cracking. Was very surprising to see those Ineos support riders fall away without them really having had to do a great deal of work all tour.

@sparky Turning out to be the most exciting tour for ages. Any of the first six could realistically win from here, with just 40 seconds covering 2nd to 6th.
Right now, Pinot looks the strongest, but that could easily not be the case with another week of racing in the legs - and three huge mountain stages at the end.

Why is there an Asterisk by Egan Bernal?
-
Pinot is riding like he is the guy to beat, but that wind disaster might end up being the difference.
The end of the mountain stages are brilliant, just watching guys with empty tanks dropping out the back, not matter what their name.

Lance Armstrong and Hincapie pretty impressed with George after the Tourmalet
-
I know Lance isn't everyone's cup of tea, but his podcast is good during the Tour, especially because George Hincapie knows his shit.
The one after last night's stage is good, TJ van Garderen joins, and has good insight. They say shit i was thinking. So they must be right.
